- 3. How can we measure specific gravity of milk?
Options- A. Using a viscometer
- B. Using an odometer
- C. Using a hygrometer
- D. Using a hydrometer Also asked in: Bank Exams

- 4. Which is a common first indicator of an approaching thunderstorm?
Options- A. too hot
- B. heavy wind
- C. a buildup of dark clouds
- D. lightning Also asked in: AIEEE, Bank Exams, CAT, GATE, Analyst, Bank Clerk, Bank PO
Correct Answer: a buildup of dark clouds
Explanation:
The first indicator of an approaching thunderstorm is a buildup of dark clouds.
A thunderstorm is a storm with lightning and thunder; it is usually produced by heavy rain, gusty wind, and the cumulonimbus cloud. The thunderstorm is made up of moisture, unstable air and lift.

- B. Black
- C. Red
- D. White Also asked in: AIEEE, Bank Exams, CAT, GATE, GRE, Analyst, Bank Clerk, Bank PO, Database Administrator, IT Trainer
Correct Answer: Green
- 6. What kind of crystalline solid is graphite?
Options- A. Metallic
- B. Ionic
- C. Molecular
- D. Covalent- network Also asked in: AIEEE, Bank Exams, CAT, GATE, GRE, Analyst, Bank Clerk, Bank PO
Correct Answer: Covalent- network
Explanation:
Graphite is a covalent-network type of crystalline solid.
There are two main categories of solids.
1. Crystalline solids and
2. Amorphous solids.
Crystalline solids are those in which the atoms, ions, or molecules that make up the solid exist in a regular, well-defined arrangement.
There are four types of crystalline solids :
Ionic solids :? Made up of positive and negative ions and held together by electrostatic attractions. They?re characterized by very high melting points and brittleness and are poor conductors in the solid state. An example of an ionic solid is table salt, NaCl.
Molecular solids :? Made up of atoms or molecules held together by London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole forces, or hydrogen bonds. Characterized by low melting points and flexibility and are poor conductors. An example of a molecular solid is sucrose.
Covalent-network (also called atomic) solids :? Made up of atoms connected by covalent bonds; the intermolecular forces are covalent bonds as well. Characterized as being very hard with very high melting points and being poor conductors. Examples of this type of solid are diamond and graphite, and the fullerenes. As you can see below, graphite has only 2-D hexagonal structure and therefore is not hard like diamond. The sheets of graphite are held together by only weak London forces!
Metallic solids :? Made up of metal atoms that are held together by metallic bonds. Characterized by high melting points, can range from soft and malleable to very hard, and are good conductors of electricity.
- 7. Parasec is ythe unit of
Options- A. distance
- B. time
- C. intensity of light
- D. magnetic line Discuss
Correct Answer: distance
- 8. Heat is associated with
Options- A. K.E of random motion of molecules
- B. K.E of orderly motion of molecules
- C. Total K.E of random and orderly motion of molecules
- D. None of these Discuss
Correct Answer: K.E of random motion of molecules
- 9. Why does the sea appear blue in colour?
Options- A. Reflection of the sun light from water surface
- B. Interference of the sun light from water surface
- C. Scattering of the sunlight by water molecules
- D. refraction of the sun light Discuss
Correct Answer: Scattering of the sunlight by water molecules
Explanation:
Sea appears blue in colour due to the scattering of the rays when they hit water molecules
- 10. A boy sitting in a train moving with a uniform velocity drops a coin outside. A man standing outside the train will find the trajectory of the coin to be
Options- A. a parabola
- B. a circle
- C. a horizontal straight line
- D. a vertical straight line Discuss
Correct Answer: a parabola
Explanation:
Parabola, because when the coin is dropped at a particular point, it has the same velocity as the running train. So by Newton's first law, it continues its motion horizontally with that velocity. But then, it is also pulled down by earth's gravity continuously. In this situation its horizontal motion gives way to the parabolic motion until it reaches the ground.
